Chapter 14
140% Luck
Liu Xiufang cried, yelled, and scolded, which got the nurses and doctors involved. After being warned, Li Mufeng stood next to Liu Xiufang’s bed and asked her to drink some soup and eat something first. Liu Xiufang immediately made a scene. She knocked the bowl Li Mufeng gave her over onto the ground and started crying again silently.
Finally, the ringtone of an incoming call saved Li Mufeng.
However, once Li Mufeng picked up the call, he heard his sister’s terrified cry. “Mooncake, don’t cry. It’s alright. It’s alright.”
When Liu Xiufang, who was crying silently, saw the useless Li Mufeng directly avoid her and leave because of a phone call from his jinx sister, her resentment and complaints against him in the bottom of her heart increased.
“Li Muyao, that jinx must have caused this!”
Liu Xiufang blamed Li Muyao once again. After all, Li Muyao was the only person who had seen Liu Xiufang hung out with another man intimately and mentioned it to Li Mufeng, this useless, stupid guy. Although Li Mufeng chose to believe his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang didn’t believe that Li Muyao, as his sister, was never involved in such a huge incident.
Li Mufeng was indeed forced to a corner because of his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang. He knew he loved Liu Xiufang deeply, but when Liu Xiufang did something that was against his values and morality, it was really difficult for him to continue this relationship.
The phone call from his sister gave Li Mufeng a chance to breathe, but what she said in the call didn’t make him more relaxed.
Pay for the damages?
Broke the beauty equipment at the beauty salon?
God, that would need more than tens of thousands of yuan!
No matter how serious it was and how much it would cost, Li Mufeng knew he must comfort his terrified sister first, even though he was anxious. “Mooncake, don’t cry. Don’t cry. Tell me what exactly happened.”
Ten minutes later, Li Mufeng finally knew everything about the incident. When his sister was learning with her beautician teacher, she used the equipment incorrectly and broke a machine that cost sixty thousand yuan. The beauty salon wanted her to pay for the damage.
“So, your manager agreed to let you pay for part of it first, no matter how much? The remaining amount will be deducted from your salary gradually?”
Knowing that the manager of the beauty salon was willing to let them pay for part of the money first and pay the rest slowly in the future, Li Mufeng was immediately relieved. “That’s great. Don’t cry, Mooncake. Don’t be scared.
“I still have the fifty thousand yuan of dowry I borrowed from home to marry Xiufang…
“I don’t need it anymore. Ask that kid from your shop, Color Hair, to come and get it. I trust him.”
Li Mufeng knew that Color Hair’s family had shares in the beauty salon.
“Alright, alright, I’ll wait for him at the entrance of the hospital.”
Once Li Mufeng hung up the call from his sister, He immediately took out his debit card from the wallet in his pocket and went out of the hospital to see if there was a bank somewhere nearby to withdraw the money.
…
“It’s done. Color Hair, go and take the money quickly. Just repeat what I said just now to my brother. Go now. I’ll take over your position here at the Hairdressing Department.”
Li Muyao had an excited smile on her face. Where was her crying expression and voice when she lied to her brother on the phone?
“Don’t adore me. I’m just a legend!”
Li Muyao felt a bit pleased when Color Hair looked at her with glittering eyes.
This was the first time Color Hair saw Li Muyao change her expression and voice. He was completely stunned!
He immediately gave a thumbs up. The phrase “my streetwise Sister Yao” was almost written on his face. He was extremely in awe. “Oh my God! Sister Yao, you’re incredible! Your face-changing and voice-changing techniques are simply unbelievable!
“If you become a movie star, you’ll certainly be famous.
“You’re too impressive!!!
“You’re indeed my Sister Yao. Your coaxing skills are exceptional.”
Color Hair had only known that Sister Yao had a nickname called Mooncake two days ago, which he found really cute. And now, that cuteness had already been scared away by Li Muyao’s face-changing skill just now.
Before the buds of a romance had even grown, its roots had already been shaken out!
Color Hair was very speedy when it came to helping Sister Yao. He told Tony he wanted to take a leave and even borrowed a motorcycle from Denis, his cousin. Within half an hour, he had already brought the fifty thousand yuan from Li Mufeng and another fifty thousand yuan, which was from his pocket money, to Li Muyao.
Li Muyao took the black plastic bag in Color Hair’s hands and said proudly, “Let’s go. Sister Yao is taking you to make money.”
Xinghong Securities had only opened for a few days. When Li Muyao and Color Hair came, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were thrilled and shocked. They couldn’t help but feel a bit more convinced of what they said to this big boss and were impressed at the same time.
“Hey, kid, you really came to give us business. Thank you so much. Have a drink. Are you planning to open an account together or one each?”
Chen Qing immediately sat down and chatted, while Liu Gucheng went to get some water. He even took all the fruits and snacks here. Such enthusiasm made other staff feel like Color Hair and Li Muyao were customers with a million yuan. After all, they were too eye-catching when the two managers greeted them so passionately at the same time.
Color Hair glanced at Li Muyao and replied, “I’m not an adult yet, so I can’t open an account. Sister Yao will do it. How does it work?”
“Kid, you’re so handsome and tall, and you even know how to take care of your sister at such a young age. You’re such a good boy. Give Manager Liu your sister’s ID card and go take a photo. After that, we’ll go to a bank designated by our securities company to apply for a debit card, put the money inside, and activate mobile banking.
“Then, it’ll also be convenient for you to transfer the money in the securities account to your bank account anytime in the future.”
Chen Qing kept looking at Li Muyao as he spoke.
Li Muyao also knew that it was time for her to speak. “Alright, let’s do it now. Can we buy stocks immediately after we finish the procedure today?”
“No, you can start buying at nine in the morning tomorrow. The stock market operates from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. every Monday to Friday.”
“You can buy and sell stocks at any time during this period. Of course, if you’re not free to do it, you can entrust us to help you.”
“We’re neighbors, after all, so we won’t charge you the commission fee. What do you think?”
Even though Wanhua Beauty Salon, where Li Muyao and Color Hair worked, was just a street away, this timing was their working hours. Li Muyao indeed couldn’t come to check on the stocks all the time. Color Hair’s family might have shares in the shop, but it wasn’t good to skip work so often, so letting Chen Qing manage it was the best choice for them.
“Would it cause any problems for you?”
Although Li Muyao said it didn’t sound like a good idea, the smile in her eyes had betrayed her.
